Growing up in NYC in the late 70s/early 80s, weekend nights local public funded tv stations (PBS) like Channel 13 and Channel 21 would play these gritty British New Wave films like Taste of Honey, Tiger Bay (I had an instant crush on Hayley Mills), Billy Liar are the ones I remember, in addition to British sitcoms like Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Butterflys and Neighbors. I basically grew up British television.
It was 1969 and I was twelve years old when I saw "Kes" at Hale Cinema. It was a hard film for me to watch, and I've not seen it since, but I still remember how it made me feel, and I tell people that it's a great film. I've not lived in England since 1971 so British Realism is a sort of time capsule for me. I still think of England has having those soot-stained buildings and the city blocks of rubble. If I think about what England smells like, it's a mix of soot, diesel fumes, and cigarette smoke.
nice mate, funny cow was awesome too. I am a massive loach and sean baker fan, and recently discovered alan clarke. Just watched made in britain and scum yesterday! Good video! Dead Man's shoes and Tyrannosaur were wicked too. Go on Paddy!!
I just wanted a 5 second explanation of a kitchen sink drama but stayed hooked through the video. Haven't seen a ton of these movies but I think I get the vibe? I'm more familiar with some american movies so Kids (1995) is the first thing that comes to mind. I of course imagine the realism is different for each culture but i think the similar themes would be things like working class struggles and the like
Great video but if you make a mistake or stumble over your words, stop, re-record, and edit together the good parts. This is what the good video essay channels do, which makes their opinions subconsciously more trustworthy and it makes for a more satisfying watch.

One of the best "Kitchen Sink" Movies: "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" with Albert Finney - it's old but good ..
